SARALAND, Alabama-- A 33-year-old Mobile man was arrested Tuesday near the Saraland Walmart after police said he was involved in a shoplifting incident and tried to run over police with a stolen car.

William Layette Herrington IV was in Mobile County Metro Jail tonight without bail, charged with 1st-degree robbery and 1st-degree receiving stolen property.

Saraland police spokesman Detective Arlan K. Gaines said that police and Walmart security personnel approached Herrington after the alleged shoplifting incident, and he attempted to flee in a car reported stolen out of Escambia County, Florida.

Gaines said the robbery charge was added because Herrington tried to run over police and security with the car before he was arrested near the store.

Online jail records show that Herrington has a criminal record dating back to 1998 with arrests on charges including theft, burglary, domestic violence and obstruction of justice.
